Vetiver
Vetiver
- Chrysopogon zizanioides (previously Vetiveria zizanioides)
is a perennial grass of the Poaceae family, native to India.
The name comes from Tamil. In western and northern India,
it is popularly known as khus, giving the earlier English
names cuscus, cuss cuss, kuss-kuss grass, etc. In Marathi
it is called Wala Vetiver can grow up to 1.5 meters high and
form clumps as wide. The stems are tall and the leaves are
long, thin, and rather rigid; the flowers are brownish purple.
Unlike most grasses, which form horizontally spreading mat-like
root systems, vetiver's roots grow downward, 2–4 meters in
depth. Vetiver is closely related to other fragrant grasses
such as Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus), citronella (Cymbopogon
nardus, C. winterianus), and Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii).
Though it originates in India, vetiver is widely cultivated
in the tropical regions of the world. The world's major producers
include Haiti, India, Java, and Réunion.
Vetiver
essential oil is derived from the complex white root system
of a grass used in India and Sri Lanka for the creation of
woven matting.
In India
and Sri Lanka, Vetiver essential oil is known as the "oil
of tranquility". This is directly applicable to its common
applications as a relaxing and comforting oil.
Perfumery
and aromatherapy Vetiver is mainly cultivated for the
fragrant essential oil distilled from its roots. Worldwide
production is estimated at about 250 tons per annum (Lavania).
Due to its excellent fixative properties, vetiver is used
widely in high end perfumes. It is contained in 90% of all
western perfumes (Lavania). Haiti is one of the leading producers
of vetiver in the world, along with Java, China, India, Brazil,
and Japan. The United States, Europe, India, and Japan are
the main consumers (India and Japan also produce it). In perfumery,
the older French spelling, vetyver, is often used.
Medicinal
use Vetiver has been used in traditional medicine in South
Asia, Southeast Asia, and West Africa.Old Tamil literature
mentions the use of vetiver for medical purposes.
Composition
Typical make up is as follows:benzoic acid furfurol vetivene
vetivenyl vetivenate terpinen-4-ol 5-epiprezizane Khusimene
α-muurolene Khusimone Calacorene τ-humulene α-longipinene
Α-selinene δ-selinene δ-cadinene valencene Calarene,-gurjunene
α-amorphene Epizizanal 3-epizizanol Khusimol Iso-khusimol
Valerenol τ-vetivone α-vetivone vetivazulene
Essential
Oil The oil is amber brown and rather thick. The odor
of vetiver oil is described as deep, sweet, woody, smoky,
earthy, amber, balsam. The best quality oil is obtained from
roots that are 18 to 24 months old. The roots are dug up and
cleaned then dried. Before the distillation, the roots are
chopped and soaked in water. The distillation process can
take up to 18 to 24 hours. After the distillate separates
into the essential oil and hydrosol, the oil is skimmed off
and allowed to age for a few months to allow some undesirable
notes which form during the distillation to dissipate. Like
patchouli and sandalwood essential oils, the odor of vetiver
develops and improves with aging. The characteristics of the
oil can vary significantly depending on where the grass is
grown and the climate and soil conditions. The oil distilled
in Haiti and Réunion has a more floral quality to it and is
considered of higher quality than the oil from Java which
has a smokier scent. In the north of India, an oil is distilled
from wild-growing vetiver. This oil is known as Khus or Khas
and is considered superior to the oil obtained from the cultivated
variety. It is rarely found outside of India as most of it
is consumed within the count
